Review
while it is essentially an Australian handbook, it will provide good reading and important information for readers in any other parts of the world. The book does what it sets out to do: advise readers of the opportunities that aquaculture presents, alert them to the pitfalls; and so inform and instruct them that they have confidence in their ability to make sound decisions. --David Scarratt" "Australian Fish Farmer" is an important resource for those interested in or practicing aquaculture. This book covers where few others dare. --David Glendenning" "Australian Fish Farmer" provides a step-by-step guide through the Australian aquaculture industry. The book is based on the authors' extensive knowledge of the industry, and is written in plain, easy to read language. The book differs from many other books on aquaculture in that it gives the facts about the industry but it also goes to great lengths to describe the pitfalls as well, enabling the reader to gain a more realistic insight into the industry. This book is essential reading for all prospective and novice fish farmers. --Dr Alistair Brown," "This is nuts and bolts guide for every Australian fish farmer. . . The extensive coverage of industry know-how in "Australian Fish Farmer" is enough to kickstart any promising fisherman into aquaculture."--Sophie Elsworth and Kelly Stevenson "The Weekly Times "
